Baptists and Birth Control

The acceptance of "birth control" is relatively new to all Christian denominations. When a Christian is educated as to the effects of most forms of birth control it is obvious why it should be avoided. See http://www.lifeandlibertyministries.com/archives/000007.php
for information on most forms of birth control.

 

Goodness, here we go again.

 

Amen to that. A dead horse. We have people dying and lost, and worried about something like this. Hey, I got an idea, lets start a thread on alcohol and dancing.

 

You trying to hijack a great thread like this?

Let's add a twist, why not pracise homosexuality as a form of birth control? :BangHead: :BangHead:

 

I had 2 c sections and almost died at 18 becasue of it. We were told I should not have more children or one or both of us would die.
I for one think God is more powerful then birth control, His will, will be done, there have been people who've used birth control and still had a baby.

 

What is next?

Wait! I may not want that question answered.

God bless

 

?

I needs ya' to explain this post. If you would please?

Not sure what you mean. Are you sugesting that people who do not have more children then they can afford do not believe scripture? What about people like us, who have medical reasons?
And just how many children does a family need in order for you to think they believe scripture?

 

Good questions, I doubt will be answered. My wife uses no birth control, and I am an "unmodified male," and we have 1 kid.

Guess that's one more thing some of my fellow Baptists are gonna send me to hell for.... :tear:

 

This is a non sequitor.

Birth control has nothing to do with believing Psalm 127v4-5.

Not only is it a non sequitor, but it verges on being an ad hominem attack implying that those who use birth control are not Bible believers.

With these two violations of basic rules of debate it is not a "debate" I wish to enter.

 

C4K,
Puh-leeze!

Janine,
This was debated a while back, and mostly, you've just heard from those who got their butts kicked. Don't be discouraged, there will be some solid comments added after a while.

 

.....Ditto :type:

 

Oh, please, let's don't... raying: :laugh:

 

30 years ago (about 1976), I had a Southern
Baptist pastor who mentioned
ONCE in the pulpit his doctrine:

We should not use birth control.
We should have lots of kids; there is a war
going on (cold war with the commies) and we
need lots of kids for the military to defend our
country.

I couldn't mention it then, but I had a job making bomb
delivery systems smarter. (I'm retired now)

 

Okay - I am a Baptist who believes Psalm 127v4-5.

What does that have to do with birth control?

 

Sarcasm while agreeing with Pastor.

If we're going to keep discussing the same topics at least add a new twist to it. Like what does KJV say about birth control that NIV doesn't? Or is one predestined to be gay? Or if God foreknew a man would be gay why punish him with AIDS? Man and man can't have baby so why not call homosexuality a form of birth control. Get it?

 

I don't think arguments against birth control methods have anything to do with the number of children one has, but rather who is going to do the deciding -- the couple or the Lord? I do agree with Donna, however, about the necessity of being wise if there is a danger.

That said, I was told that I should abort Scott because he was a danger to my life. He was. I had been kicked by a horse in the gut when I was 21 and there was a good chance labor and delivery could tear the adhesions and I could bleed to death internally.

Scott turned 33 this last October. He's as fine a son as any woman ever had.
